Meghan Markle’s father is ‘extremely hurt' by Prince Harry's claim the royals are 'the family she never had’ his son has revealed.

Prince Harry made the claims on Wednesday during an interview on Radio 4, which the prince was guest editing.

Fifty-one-year-old Thomas Marke from Oregan said: “My father will be extremely hurt, actually. He dedicated the majority of all his time and everything to her. He made sure she had what she needed to be successful and get to where she's at today.”

He added on his own behalf: “Obviously, she had a family. She was very privileged. She got everything she ever wanted.”

“The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple drinks.

“And when it comes to the biting of the nails – well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day.

“It's unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.”

Meghan Markle rose to some prominence when she played sexy paralegal Rachel Zane on the cable show Suits.

The programme had viewing figures of almost five million for the pilot episode but its latest instalment, episode 10 of the seventh season, raked in just over 1.5m.

Meghan Markle worked hard for a decade to break into acting after she left university with a double major in theatre and international relations. She took roles as a ‘briefcase girl' on day time game show Deal or No Deal and had a small role in daytime soap General Hospital.
